LONDON---British scientists
say a former nurse has
become the first person in
the country to receive an
experimental Ebola vaccine
in an early trial to test its
safety.
Ruth Atkins, 48, got the
injection on Wednesday in
Oxford, the first of 60 healthy
volunteers in the UK who will
receive the vaccine. It was
developed by the US National
Institutes of Health and Glax-
oSmithKline and targets the
Zaire strain of Ebola, the cause
of the ongoing outbreak in
West Africa. A trial of the
same vaccine has already
begun in the US.
The vaccine is meant to
spark the immune system s
production of Ebola antibod-
ies. It does not contain any
infectious material and
shouldn t trigger an Ebola
infection, researchers said.
"Witnessing the events in
Africa makes it clear that
developing new drugs and
vaccines against Ebola should
now be an urgent priority,"
said trial leader Adrian Hill of
Oxford University, in a state-
ment.
Hill and colleagues hope the
trial will finish by the end of
2014. If the vaccine is proven
safe, it could then be used to
vaccinate health workers in
West Africa in a bigger trial
to test its effectiveness. (AP)

WARSAW---Polish and
Israeli Holocaust
researchers say they
have discovered the
exact location of the
building that housed gas
chambers at Sobibor,
one of the death camps
operated by Nazi Ger-
many in occupied
Poland.
Israel s Yad Vashem
and the Majdanek State
Museum in Poland,
which oversees Sobibor,
announced the finding
yesterday, calling it an
important discovery in
the field of Holocaust
research.
Historians already
knew that the Germans
operated the gas cham-
bers at Sobibor from
April 1942 to October
1943, killing an estimated
250,000 Jews brought
from across Europe. But
they have many unan-
swered questions about
the operation of the site
because there were very
few survivors and most
of the site was disman-
tled during the war by
the Germans.
Photos released by the
researchers show a size-
able rectangular structure
with brick walls that was
divided into four cham-
bers. Haimi said they
have found a number of
personal items nearby,
including gold teeth and
jewelry.
The Germans closed
the camp after a prisoner
revolt on October 14,
1943, when about 300 of
the inmates killed several
German officers. (AP)
